of “Winds of the Prairie”
drew inspiration for this
novel from family stories
passed down through
the generations. Her
grand-parents and greatgrandparents
immigrated
to what is now South
Dakota and Nebraska
during the early 1900’s. Their stories became the stuff of
family legends. Ms. Halvorsen worked for the University of
Wisconsin Madison Library System for many years and is a
graduate of Edgewood College, Madison, Wisconsin. Upon
graduation from Edgewood, she was presented the Class
Human Issues award for her research and study of “The
Native American Creation Story: Coyote and Changing
Woman.” As a former teacher and librarian, she still enjoys
researching genealogy and American history. Although this
novel is strictly of her imagination, certain people and places
mentioned are historical and real. This book is dedicated with
deep respect to those who settled the Dakota Territories and
the Sioux tribes who were its first guardians. They were, and
are still, the back-bone and blood of our nation.
